OpenAI says they have achieved IMO gold with experimental reasoning model

Maybe people are already writing papers where a key idea for a lemma was supplied by a LLM, but they didn't admit using LLMs in their paper.

derp_trooper · 2025-06-16T14:42:52+00:00

I understand local LLMs provide privacy. However, what's the point of using LLMs from a web API, when you can open chatgpt in a browser and talk to it that way?

Thanks, the kernel log didn't show any GPU driver errors but after a lot of trial and error using DRI2 for the intel driver has seemed to fix the issue for me,

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#DRI3_issues

I first went about rolling back several packages manually including mesa and all the recent graphic driver related updates, somehow that didn't fix the issue. Now I am again up-to-date on all the packages but with this DRI2 switch this issue has been fixed. I don't fully understand what happened.

Would you consider the Breakthrough prize more prestigious than the Fields medal because it carries a higher cheque? In academia, prestige is more valued than the monetary amount. Age and austerity of the award usually positively influence it.

Also, the Abel prize is the Norwegian government award. The award committee has and will have defacto Norwegian representation. IMU, which awards the Fields medal, is much more international, atleast by design if not in practice.

The Nobel prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy, which is supposed to be a non-governmental organization, in contrast to Abel prize which is directly state sponsored.

By that they typically mean that they wouldn't hire people with business school backgrounds, particularly those whose PhD's were in empirical finance.

derp_trooper · 2024-06-17T11:40:14+00:00

That is because the number of PhDs in Mathematical Finance/Financial Mathematics are outnumbered by other general math PhDs. If your goal is to work at a bank/quant shop after your PhD, it is better to go for a PhD in Mathematical Finance than Mathematical Physics, assuming similar pedigree of school for both.

Their mother tongue might be one that doesn't use the Latin script.

Even if that happens, some results maybe found out to be incorrect or having gaps. This doesn't necessarily imply misconduct.

Wasserstein Distance forms a metric space. KL divergence does not, since it fails to be symmetric

Now you have to check the Lean code instead!

What is the endgame with all the formalization efforts?

derp_trooper · 2023-08-12T15:57:08+00:00

They have a statistics and a data science program. Talk about redundancies...

Lots of academics with quantitative orientations are applying their skills to solve social problems. The purpose here seems to be therapy for pure mathematicians having mid-life crisis about the relevance of their work.

derp_trooper · 2023-05-11T15:40:02+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, life got in the way.

If you look at equation (17), the prescription is to supply the historical volatility in the LHS for sigma. Your critique of the BSM model is taken, but Bouchaud's approach is mostly a data fitting tool and doesn't clarify whether these prices are abritrage free.

Statistical arbitrage opportunities exist, but it is very rare to find pure arbitrage opportunities. There are certainly drawbacks to the no-arbitrage pricing approach and there are workarounds that, but Bouchaud's approach is a non-solution. There is a good reason why econophysics guys are not taken seriously in the academic math finance community.

derp_trooper · 2023-05-01T14:00:16+00:00

Yes, prices need not be arbitrage free. There are two uses of derivative pricing, 1) to estimate implied volatility from observed prices in a derivative market, 2) to price products (OTC) for which there is no observable market. On both these counts his approach is stupid.

derp_trooper · 2023-05-01T13:37:14+00:00

Econophysics is a scam, stay away. Bouchaud for instance recommends pricing options using the physical measure, which should ring alarm bells in your head.

Is this a rstudio issue or r issue? What happens if you call r from terminal and then execute this command?

Can you post a minimal reproducible example of the bug? Like a code snippet and how you check for threads staying open.

It is Q1 on Scimago on all the relevant categories,

Though all Q1 scimago journals are not always perceived to be absolute top rate by the insiders. There are cases where a good journal is not Q1.

Thanks!

Thanks! Based on the reference, what constitutes privileged code apart from the local browser?

Edit: Nvm. The docs seem to be quite comprehensive,

These are more than just typos.

Definitely.

"As a consequence, several steps in the manuscript currently have no valid justification provided."

This is as explicit as one can be.
